[Stuart]

pass but it was sat outside my flat this morning in Ware... he knows my neighbour lol
Sounded like it was on carbs.. what was in there?

[RS SHORTIE]

Not to sure,think it maybe a 1.4/1.6 16v on TB's couldnt get close enough when bonnet was up :(

[Adam]

Dont think its anyones in here.

Looks sweet. Shame no bay shots, probably got something equally as good as it looks fitted.

[dhdev (Oli)]

Can't remember his name, he went to the ring with us.
Its a 1.6 16v on SBD bodies.

[Stuart]

what is it with 1.6 16V engines on TB's sounding like they are on carbs.. lol

[lj]

thats yummy....


lovely looking car!

[rednova]

[TommySR]

[dan16v]

[womble sri]

i wanna see that in the flesh did yousay it was outside yours stu?

[Nath]

awesome!!!! love those wheels. backs a tad low though isnt it. lol

[SRlew]

thats bloody wicked!
so clean and subtle.

are they ronal turbos? if so, what offset are they.
nice and low back is what i like to see!

[RS SHORTIE]

there a 14in and not the common 15in R10 ronal turbo's. Think these are rare to get hold of as ive only ever seen 2 sets and this being 1 of them.

[-Bruce-]

Very nice looking car. Like that colour alot!!

2nd pic looks wicked. I love the grey bucket seats, they almost look like they match the early cloth rear seats.

[RyGSI]

Niceeeeeeeeee

[Mike.]

thats an awesome car

[jbowman]

Ah mama! that a sexy minter. How low do you wana go - meh jus take the springs out lol
Somthing for my Nova to aspire to me finx.

[peester]

thats class.. best i've seen in ages. How to do 'euro' to a t that is.

[RJM25R]

They're not ronals, theyre oz rally or compomotive th??? in a 14"????

I love the look......

[JSeymour]

how do you get it that low!?
love that nova, makes me wunna get a phase1.

[Stuart]

They're not ronals, theyre oz rally or compomotive th??? in a 14"????

I love the look......

compomotives. Breeny had the same ones i belive.


i heard "all hell break loose" in my road, then looked out and saw a rather sexy nova :) was way too cold to nip out and get decent piccies and have a chat though lol

[NickWalliams]

set of 16" speedlines or softstars and it would be mint (dont like small wheels although them ones are quite nice)

[RJM25R]

nickwalliams, sorry mate but u talkin gash! that is absolutely superb, and would be ruined with speedlines or softstars. may as well put venoms and a kingdom spoiler on it!

[NickWalliams]

how the fcuk are speedlines or softstars associated with kingdom spoilers and venoms?

[tappingt]

I believe speedlines or cav gsi rims are the best wheels for novas and arent related at all to body kits etc. However speedlines on that nova would completly ruin the originaly look of the car. that car is one mint muthafocka.

[TommySR]

i agree, speedlines would take away from its euro looks completely, love them wheels and the colour!

[martweaver]

Lovely car - suspected it was the grey 1.6 16v from the PNG show from the pics. Well spotted Keith!!
The rocker is in Ferrari style crackle finish if I remember - Tidy as hell!

[karl Rowntree]

The owners name is paul (uses the name SBD16V on Mig) Top fella he is;)

I believe they are walshy's old wheels and his had them refurbed.

Is easily up there in the top 10 best novas in england in my opinion, everything is done to a very high standard and the new euro look is spot on.

He owns an evo aswell, goes out to the ring everytime i am out there and think he intends taking the nova out this year. Would love to see him try and get it on the ferry and out of the carousel!!

Karl

[RJM25R]

nickwalliams, sorry u didn't understand my comment.

What I meant was that softstars and allessio's, nice wheels that they are, are NOT euro look, so putting them on a euro look car is as daft as putting venoms and spoilers on a euro look car. I am not associating kingdom/venoms with speedlines/softstars, but what I am actually saying is that NONE of them are euro-look! So NONE belong on that particular car, as they would ruin the euro-ness(!!??!) of it!

Cheers

[Stuart]

ahhh he does live in ware then. ive pmed him a couple of times on mig lol.

[EuroPaul]

Hi everyone thanks for all the comments, it makes it all worth while now...

As someone already pointed out the engine is a 1.6 16v on throttle bodies, and the wheels are walshy's old 14inch sparco rally wheels which i got painted anthracite and then diamond polished.

The way i got it that low was by getting some -90mm springs made up for the rear and coilovers on the front, becuase of the small wheels it never rubs even when you are nailing it round the bends.

Glad everyone approves, wasnt sure if the euro look would go down that well but it seems to have done.

Sorry if I woke you up stuart....lol

[TommySR]

-90mm Springs....... lol Awesome car mate, nice lights, nice wheels, nice colour!

[RS SHORTIE]

Just like to say mate that your nova is spot on :thumb:
wish id come over for a chat but there were to many heads under the bonnet lol

[EuroPaul]

What car were you in? i was down there with my mate who's got the 270 bhp clio williams, that thing is mental....

[Stuart]

i was already awake lol. Did you go see the bloke whos got the big Yank car?

[EuroPaul]

No mate i was visiting my mate Jim who lives at no.13. I was up there again late last night in my evo you probably heard that too lol

No mate, I was visiti

[Stuart]

ahhh. i thought i heard something a bit silly at about 10:30ish lol.

im at number 8.

[RS SHORTIE]

What car were you in? i was down there with my mate who's got the 270 bhp clio williams, that thing is mental....

I was in my friends green polo 16v with twin boxer pipes.
Looking at the williams on the rollers id say its a little mental on the road lol
Sounds superb with the side exit!!!

[RJM25R]

Sparco's..... dso we were ALL wrong about the wheels LOL!!

[Benn]

niceeeeeeeeee

[Give it some rev]

set of 16" speedlines or softstars and it would be mint (dont like small wheels although them ones are quite nice)

totally agree, i think the wheels let the car down. im into those red rear lights. just goes to show you dont need tons of fiberglass to make a car look good.

[Benn]

i think those wheels look but better than softstars(eeww) and speedlines as there both soooooo commen,and you never need fiber glass to make a car look good...crap maybe..

[RJM25R]

Now these are proper euro wheels.... iwas gonna use them on my car but i can't get 256mm brakes behind them. Thay'd be cool on a gte/gsi/sr etc where big brakes aren't used.....

7X13" ET37

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/RJM25R/fe1c8a22.jpg

i'VE GOT THEM ON EBAY IF ANYONE INTERESTED???

[Stuart]

**** 1" too wide lmao.

[RJM25R]

How come too wide Stu????

with a 195/45/13" tyure they fit under nova arch perfectly, if you have the rear arch trimmed/folded

[Stuart]

got 185 slicks lol

[mikey14sr]

Borbet 'C's?

[RJM25R]

Stu, they's look super-stretched? i was gonna run 175/50/13"'s Yoko a008r's (mini challenge tyres!) and they looked stretched on....

[Stuart]

really dont want to strech slicks... too much load will go through them to keep them on the rim safely.

[RJM25R]

Fair enuff....

[Stuart]

plus they are over ?50 for the 4 lmao
